Solid geometry

[andrea_pontiggia]

Hello, I have this problem with Robot: I imported a geometry as *. sat. Robot properly recognize the geometry and recognizes the geometry as solid. The options of meshing are the following,

are not the usual (Coons, Delanuy etc.). Why?

If I run the calculation, the message appears "element deformed."

If drawing Robot in the same geometry, the parameters of the meshing are the usual and Robot performs the calculation correctly.

How can I solve this problem?

How can I make Robot correctly read the solid geometry?

thanks

It is ACIS meshing.

I still do not understand ... I redesigned the solid all-Robot, and the model works. Finally! NOo

I thought I had solved and I modeled another joint, but the problem reoccurs of "deformable structure."

Looking at "help" Robot I found this (see image).

you can perform the procedure in an automatic manner?

Is there an API for geometric solids?

Thank you for your cooperation.

I do not understand "reoccurs of "deformable structure.".

Please send us the model.

I attach the file.

Thanks

1. ACIS

2. no kinematic links

3. correct meshing options in attached file

4. make first inclusion of 11 in 12

I did everything you told me, but Robot always gives me the same problem.

I want to to understand if robot is able to manage a steel joint of the type that I am attaching

(see attached a *. Sat).

The sequence of my operations is the following:

-I open a *. sat in Robot

-Robot immediately recognizes 3d solids

-I put the properties to solid (properties panel)

-I create for each solid individually mesh (with the settings you told me)

-I inclusions between the solids

-I put the constraints

-Load Condition

-I try and model ........... "solid deformed". What is wrong?

You can manage a solid guy who I am attaching?

If the answer is yes, I explained step by step to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance for your valuable help.

[Rafal.Gaweda]

correct order:

-I open a *. sat in Robot

-Robot immediately recognizes 3d solids

-I inclusions between the solids

-I put the properties to solid (properties panel)

-I create mesh for all solids (with the settings you told me)

EUREKA!

There are successful!

Add a setting more than in the previous posts.

Look at the attached picture

Thanks to all

why i get this error when i try to generate the mesh? how to solve that? (sorry i am new in solid generation)

[andrea_pontiggia]

I see you've created a only solid . I think you should split it into plates that compose it.
You have the following settings?

You have assigned the material?

Try these options mesh.

If you do not attach the file.

i split in elements and try to do the mesh but it  goes wrong.. i cant connect the elements.the file is too large to attach, but see the picture.

Save it with another name and without results and...

Daer Andrea and Mauro,

I strongly suggest you to avoid solid model to simulate steel connection or steel elements. Try to model it with shell element, much more easy to manage and you have better accuracy...

Cheers and good luck

I changed the way i model the solid, doing now:

1º rectangle -- extrude;

2º edit objects -- join objects;

3º mesh generate.

And now it goes well.

Thank you guys.
